NOTES
IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Moscow and the other IL-2 Great Battle modules can each be played as standalone games, when they are obtained/purchased as keyless non-Steam products from il2sturmovik.com/store.
"IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Moscow can be used as a separate product or be integrated with BOS and/or BOK, resulting in one big WWII Eastern Front combat flight-sim."
The Steam versions of these IL-2 Great Battles modules are classified as DLCs - in order to play any of them, they require pre-ownership of the base game IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad (RRP A$73.50) on your Steam account.
There was a leak of their new Korea games cloud bucket that strongly suggested these guys also work on fpv drone Sims for the Russian military, no harm trying the game for free but maybe a consideration before sending them money.
